    Last but not least, fireflies represent energy. Natural energy, and economic energy. But it also has the meaning of economy and efficiency because they use their environment in order to be as effective as possible and in order to gain their energy. Fireflies are fascinating little creatures.

    I had never seen a firefly in my life until I was in my late 30's. It was amazing I was in awe like a child seeing something awesome for the first time. My colleague was having fun seeing my experience and laughing. You see I am from California and have never seen one in my entire life until that day...a most memorable experience nature is soooo cool.
